It's hard to tell though because the Florida Embassy is just an old repurposed campground bathroom stall, so he might either be on the lam or have eaten some bad gator.

Were those not fine days, when we drank of clear honey, and spoke in calm tones of our love for the stuff?

If you watch the teaser video in that link, they cleary showed off procedural planets, EVA, mining, spaceships, cargo, base-building, derelict ships, and jump points. And that was from almost 2 years ago. I'm sure the game is pretty much finished by now.

"2 years ago a crack Commando unit wad banned from the RSI forums for a crime they didn't commit. These men got refunded from the game and went to the Something Awful Forums. Today, still wanted by Crobberts, they survive as shitposters of fortune. If you have a problem, and they haven't blocked you on twitter, maybe you can hire the S-Team."

Not a lawyer, but I don't think you can say whatever you like about someone and then just add "in my opinion" as some sort of legal prophylactic. Might be worth running that past Leagle.

That is one complete manufactured piece of asscovering. I would bet an Idris right now that there is communication between Jester and Assfister that he needed to go and add that so that they could attempt to avoid any liability. Assfister has never once gone back on any of his comments and made such a spontaneous correction out of the blue like that before. Not ever. He was pressured from Jester and was more than likely forced to make that change. gently caress everything about those people.

You are very much correct about that. And if you can prove that the correction was made by collusion to avoid that then Player 2 has now entered the liability game.

In July 2015, a lone commando was forcefully refunded for a blog he wrote. This man promptly escaped from North Carolina to the Florida underground. Today, still vilified by the Shitizens, he survives as an Internet Warlord. If you need a refund and no one else can help, say his name three times and maybe you can hire... Derek Smart.

Commando's why are all the community managers doing to Pax?

Are they actually doing anything related to the game, or just taking another backer paid nerd trip

You're correct. The "opinion" tag is for subjective statements, such as "Star Citizen is a janky piece of unfun poo poo" or "Chris Roberts looks like a human thumb."

Objective statements can't be opinions. "In my opinion, you hosed your mother." and "In my opinion, New York City does not exist." That poo poo doesn't fly unless you're president. Otherwise it's considered a declaration of fact and is subject to libel/defamation etc. if false.

It's insane that they have to highlight community activity because nothing is going on with the game making side of things. You can only re-factor ships for so long.

Question is, how long can the highlight community activity until they accidentally endorse yet another paedo?

I think Jester was the mod who gave tacit endorsement to Mathilda (Karl) calling for /r/dereksmart people to contact Dereks' wife and kid directly.

They started off with the intention of building off the existing game and making it VR compatible they quickly realized it wouldn't work and had to rebuild the entire game from scratch , purely for VR

I laughed a little remembering how Chris was just going to flick the VR switch and bam landing successful
